A wonderful mix of industrial sense and modern flavor

The conversion of a car repair shop into a coffee shop is a recent project of Australian architecture firm ZWEI. Although they seem to have nothing to do with each other, when you open the skylight, put a circle of tables and chairs around the wall, and put coffee makers and all kinds of snacks, it is also a good place for ventilated and quiet afternoon tea.

The shop, located in North Melbourne, still shows the cracks in bricklaying after the walls are whitewashed, and it is the only trace of the original house. The walls of the house are painted with simple pastel painting, which is very simple and childish. Although the outer walls are too weathered to be remedied, it looks a special nature from the outside.

Exterior wall and interior wall

At the center of the cabin is a two-story work area made of wood, upstairs is a storage room, and downstairs is an open operating room and cashier. The coffee shop is as full of tables and chairs as possible, encouraging guests to stay relaxed and sit down. The natural light shines on the warm-toned walls, and the faint sense of industry mixes wonderfully with the modern flavor of the city.

Melbourne, Australia is a famous immigrant city, also known as the coffee capital. Since the 1950s, Italian coffee machines were introduced to Australia, and Melbourne, near the seaside, has cultivated a strong coffee market. For them, coffee is not only a drink, but also a place to connect, and different coffee shops also use baristas as signs and have regular customers. That's why Starbucks from American fast food culture are few and far between in Melbourne and Australia, where locals say their tastes have long been picky.

The old coffee shop is deeply rooted in the local culture, and the new coffee shop also needs to find its own characteristics. This Code Black coffee is an experimental brand interested in black art and technology. The hip-hop style can be seen from their LoGo, a black head with flowers and a smile. With the mechanical decoration of the coffee shop, it is very attractive to young people. Not only that, they also pay great attention to the quality of coffee, selecting high-quality coffee beans from the farm for roasting to create a healthy image.
